Short Assignment

Dan Holliday answers a strange message that leads him to a lavish party where a nervous young man seems to be teetering on the edge of real trouble. Surrounded by glamorous guests, shifting stories, and a host who is far too polite for comfort, Holliday soon senses that the evening is not meant to be the carefree celebration it pretends to be. As he tries to keep watch over the troubled nephew he was hired to protect, Holliday discovers a web of fear, manipulation, and hidden motives beneath the glittering surface. What begins as a simple assignment quickly becomes a tense race to uncover the truth before the night ends in tragedy.
